This Sunday sees the end of the Easter Season when
we honour the Holy Trinity - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Trinity
is God the Creator, God the Son (made Man) and God the Holy Spirit
of Love - all together. God truly loves and cares for us but the Mystery
of God's love is beyond human understanding. We do not understand
why God loves us, but we don't have to. We just have to accept it!
We honour the Holy Trinity when we make the sign of the Cross and
when we say the Glory Be and the Gloria. By the grace of Baptism 'in
the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit' we are
called to share in the Life of the Blessed Trinity, here on earth
in the obscurity of faith, and after death in eternal life. May I
always appreciate that all that I am and all that I will be is as
a result of the love of the Holy Trinity for me. Thank you God for
your kindness to me and help me to appreciate all my brothers and
sisters who are members of your family.
